LWC Softball wins opening round Columbia Bracket By Chris Wells Makea-Al Kaluau's home run and Annabelle Ramirez's complete game helped top-seeded Lindsey Wilson softball beat third-seeded Grand View (IA) 4-1 on Wednesday in the NAIA National Tournament Opening Round Columbia, Ky. Bracket championship game at Marilyn D. Sparks Park. The Blue Raiders (50-3) advance to the 39th annual NAIA Softball World Series beginning on Thursday, May 23, in Springfield, Missouri. Kaluau broke a scoreless deadlock with a three-run homer in the fourth inning to put the Blue Raiders on the path to their sixth World Series appearance and first since the 2015 season. After just one hit in the first three innings off Grand View starting pitcher Libby Yenger, the Blue Raiders posted three hits in the fourth, including the homer. Cassie Matlock led off the inning with a single and Kalli Harris added a one-out single ahead of Kaluau. Matlock went 2-for-4 with a pair of runs in the game while Harris finished 1-for-3 with a run. Kaluau blasted her 15th homer of the season over the left field fence to give Lindsey Wilson the 3-0 lead. Kaluau ended the game 2-for-3 with a run and three RBIs. Ramirez -- who improves to 18-1 on the season with the win -- had all the run support she would need with the Kaluau swing. Ramirez finished allowing one run while scattering nine hits. She struck out four in the complete-game effort -- her second win of the day. Ramirez won today's opener in relief. Lindsey Wilson tacked on a run in the fifth inning for the 4-0 lead. Matlock was again in the middle of a Blue Raider rally. She ripped a two-out double and Jaydee Boursaw chased her home with an RBI single to give the Blue Raiders some insurance. The Vikings (46-12) got on the board in the bottom of the sixth. Alyx Witt hit her 19th home run of the season to cut the deficit to 4-1. The solo shot was the only run the Vikings could muster against Ramirez -- who suffered her only loss of the season earlier in the tournament against Grand View. Lindsey Wilson learns who they will face in the World Series on Thursday when the NAIA releases the 10-team bracket. This story was posted on 2019-05-16 05:09:21
